[GreenKeys] 28 reperf typewheel codes

[Nick England]

Thanks to Tom and Jerry (no not the cat/mouse), I am now less ignorant.
I've posted Tom's info at
http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals-ttycorp.htm#type

This includes the M28 type box code chart plus a cross from type box code
to typewheel code to keytop code

Cheers,
